Bella consults help. But is it what she was hoping for? Thank you for the reviews so far and following.
Bella POV
The sex shop was just closing up when I ran through the front door. "Whoa! Whoa! We're closed, dear." It took her a second to realize it was me, "Back again?"
"You have to help me!", I said slamming my fist down on the counter.
"I told you, get out of that house!" she then went about her business closing up the cash register and acting normal. I followed her around the shop.
"My mom, she's taken over by something. A succubus!"
She stopped and looked at me, she sighed and walked over to the doors, locking them, "Alright. But you don't have many options."
"As long as it doesn't involve stabbing her in the heart."
"That would be the most effective" she said bluntly. She sat down behind the counter, presenting an old book, the thing looked like it was ready to fall apart maybe even crumble. She opened it up, so many creepy and strange drawings, one of a naked woman looked well proportioned but her face looked demonic. "This town is cursed. A cult who lived on your land had their home burnt to the ground after performing rituals, scaring locals. They were treated horribly when they moved here so in return performed one final ritual as the building burnt with them still inside. The town will be plagued forevermore with unspeakable evil. One being the succubus. It will stop at nothing to get what it wants. She will seduce and kill. But that's not all…"
"Shit, it gets worse?" I hastily interrupted.
"After one hundred years once the succubus has a host, she will use the blood of her victims to bring the cult members back. She'll perform her own ritual and bring them back to take over. No one will be safe." I was trying to wrap my head around this, the thought of Renee becoming some sort of monster, killing and feeding on people. "I know this is a lot to take in. There is something you can do."
"Ok. Anything. What is it?" I leaned in over the counter in anticipation.
"You have to do what she says."
"Huh?"
"I mean, pretend like everything is normal. Be like her servant, get her what she needs. I don't mean victims but make her think you're on her side. You have until the first harvest moon to distract her."
"Distract her? What exactly am I supposed to do?"
She just shrugged, "I don't have all the answers. You seem like a smart girl, you'll figure it out I'm sure."
"Wow! So that's it? Good luck and I hope you don't get eaten?" I paced the floor, "So then what happens? The harvest moon?"
"That's when her powers will be at their strongest…" she trailed off. "You need to give me time to decipher this spell. I want to help you, I do. but we only have 2 weeks."
"2 Weeks?" I wasn't sure how I could pull this off.
"I know this is scary. I would come to the house and help you but it's too risky." I hung my head, she took pity on me and grabbed something from one of the shelves, "This should keep her occupied. It should also show that you are willing to do anything she asks. Just remember that it's not really her, no matter what she says or does. She'll try and trick you."
It was the assless chaps. This just kept getting better. "This is really weird" I told her, shaking my head.
"You love her, right?"
"Well, yeah but…there are limits."
"It's important to know your limits but don't be afraid of trying something new" she smirked. I gave her an uneasy grin, "I will be here for you if you need anything else."
"Thanks…"
"Eveyln."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Anything, dear."
"Who wrote this book?"
"Hard to say. No one in town at the time. Unless of course one member got out of there or there was an accomplice." she speculated.
"Well, thank you, Evelyn."
"You're welcome, Bella." I stopped and looked back at her, she didn't know my name, I'm positive I didn't tell her.
I could feel my heart in my throat, I was terrified of going back home; I carried that bag with the assless chaps, embarrassed and scared someone would discover them. I walked up those steps expecting either normal Renee or evil Renee. I opened the door and found it empty inside, I thought I could escape to my room with ease but she saw me from the kitchen.
"Oh, Bella!" she sang, "Come in here for a minute!" There she was sitting in the kitchen, for the most part normal but that smile still creeped me out, "Have a seat, sweetheart."
I sat across from her thinking of what the hell she was going to tell me or ask of me. "You've probably been wondering about my behaviour."
I wasn't sure how to react. Should I lie and tell her I didn't notice? "Um…what do you mean?" I asked, nervously playing with my hair.
She chuckled, "You're so precious" she took hold of my hands, terrified of what she might do to them, "So young. Sexy…" she hissed. She was acting so dominant and acting like some husky voiced starlet; normally I passed it off as her merely being goofy. "You want to run away from me, don't you?" I shook my head. She acted very pleased, which seriously creeped me out. I knew I couldn't act disgusted so I just smiled and allowed her fingers to slip in and out of mine.
"I like the new you" I said acting as best as I could.
"Really?" she raised her eyebrows, intrigued.
"Uh-huh."
"That's my princess." This got my attention, Renee only called me Princess as a joke, as if I were a rich stuck up snob; maybe Renee was still there deep down. "Why don't you come over here and sit in my lap." I obliged, getting up out of my chair and walking over to her, sitting across her lap awkwardly since I was almost a fully grown woman. I rested my head under her chin, pressed up against her. She whispered, "My precious, Isabella." I was getting more and more uncomfortable, wanting to do nothing more than to run upstairs and lock my door. She turned me around making me face her; her hands on my face bringing me close. She had those intense eyes of hers or at least the creature's eyes staring back at me.
I didn't really know what to do but say, "I love you…"
It looked like she wanted to laugh at me for saying something so stupid, "Yes, Princess, I love you too. Now I want you to call me Mama from now on. Got it?" I nodded, too afraid to speak now, "Good. You're the only one I can trust in this world. Everyone else is against us" the way she was speaking to me almost made me believe that was true, she never took her eyes off of mine, "We're all we need. I don't want you talking to those girls next door or their Mama, that woman can't be trusted." I nodded, taking all of this in, "She wants to kill me."
"I know. I won't let her" I told her seriously.
She looked pleased, "Good. That's my girl" she kissed my forehead. "Things are going to change around here."
"How, Re…Mama?"
"Surprises. But I need to know that you won't turn on me…no matter what."
"I'd never turn on you" she could likely detect the unsteadiness in my voice.
"No matter what?" her eyes pierced mine.
"No matter what."
It seemed to work. She saw the bag I carried in, resting on the floor by the chair I sat in, "What's that you got? Get something at the adult store?"
I looked back at it, I could feel myself turning red. "Yes. It's a…a present for you."
"Oh, you shouldn't have" she said rubbing my shoulders. She let me get up and hand the bag to her, her eyes lit up. "Kinky! Bella, you got me just what I wanted!" I was actually glad she liked it, she wasn't lashing out or anything. "I'm going to try it on right now!" she ran upstairs. It took me a minute to realize what she doing.
"Uh, what?" I put a hand over my mouth, Renee was going to run back down with her ass hanging out in those tight things. I sat at the table, freaking out at potentially being traumatized by seeing her bare ass in sexy attire. Ok a little background, I have seen Renee's butt before when it was at least in a bathing suit and even then could see that it was big and round, everything I was secretly jealous of. She would tease me about it of course, saying how she had a lot of junk in the trunk.
I had my head lowered, looking down at the table top massaging my temples, "Well, what do you think?" I looked up and my jaw dropped. Her back was turned and there was her ass, naked and popping out of that leather; it was insane but totally Renee.
I gagged on a laugh, "Whoa!" She gave her ass a slap, she was like an obscene naked cowgirl; I averted my eyes after I thought I got enough of an eyeful to last a lifetime but realized that was a terrible idea, I needed to show her that I liked it so I applauded her like an idiot. I really wished she wouldn't ask too much of me for those 2 weeks. I was so naive back then.
What will happen next?
